Topic: Using the power of the repaint for good, not evil. (Read 1783 times)

So with the Final 12 being repaints and all, it got me thinking about what other figures could be repainted and rereleased as different characters. There is a right way to do repaints, so let's brainstorm some ways it could be done right.

------------------------

--Denaria Kee

Pretty similar to Passel, only purple. The Saga Passel figure has already been repainted in the Final 12, so I think Hasbro could get away with repainting it purple and calling her Denaria Kee. OK, so she's shorter, and the attire is slightly different, but it's probably our only chance of getting this figure so it's close enough.

------------------------

--Neimoidian General

Put down those torches and pitchforks and hear me out! How about repainting the guy with gold armor and making him a general?

Gold = generalSilver = commanderBronze/copper = infantry

On second thought, this is probably simple enough that even I could manage to customize this.

------------------------

Thoughts? What else would you like to see--or at least, not hate to see?

Please note: clone variants do not count. And neither does redoing a character with better deco, like the OTC Gamorrean Guard, since it's the same character.

The thread title is the perfect way to describe what people are speculating about the 2006 Artoo, that he's a repaint of that killer SP astromech. An Artoo with that dome-retractable leg will be fantastic!

Good call on the 'woks, Jeff. Given the number of potential fur colors, repainted Ewoks are a no-brainer--particularly if they swapped around the accessories and even the heads if the sockets are compatible.

They've given us 5 different wookiees using only 2 sculpts (Not Counting Tarful or Chewie) so why can't they do it with the ewoks? I wouldn't mind some repaints of the ROTS SP R2 unit either, or they R3 or R4s, that aren't a ridiculous $8 a piece.

I don't mind the repaints in certain circumstances either. It obviously works with astromechs, and really the more I see those EE sets, the more I kind of want them. Just a little too pricey for me though. I do like the idea of repainting some ewoks, generic or otherwise. I'd like new, different sculpts for the "bigger names" like Chirpa and the others we got in the vintage line (maybe a new Wicket too?), but having a 3-4 pack of differently colored/hooded 'woks would be great. Of course, the repainted clones work nice too, just start using more of the #41 sculpt .
